It is understood that any possible offer could be for around €50million, however, the report has stressed that they are unsure of whether a negotiation can be finalized in January or next summer – which is believed to be more likely.

Belotti had earned himself a bright reputation with his performances for Torino, however, they have since started to drop off.

The 25-year-old has suffered with injuries, however, he has managed to record seven goals in his 19 appearances so far this season.

The Verdict:

Despite his concerning form recently, Belotti would be an excellent addition for West Ham.

The Italy international could be considered an upgrade on some of the options they already have at the London Stadium and could be the man to help take them to the next possible level.

However, a move for Belotti could be deemed a little too ambitious and whether the Hammers can convince Torino to sell in the winter would remain to be seen.
